Insignificance

Wednesday, December 9

over the past few weeks, things haven't been going great for me and I needed some distraction just to get my mind off things for a bit, so I left for KL.

Having to experience my first homesick-ish state over this past 4 years, my friend coincidentally brought me to one his favourite sarawak laksa stalls in KL somewhere at Bangsar called 南泉 or "Nam Chun".

The taukenio was originally from Kuching Padungan area, so her sarawak laksa lived up to my expectations and never would I thought I would ever be able to have a taste of good sarawak laksa at west malaysia. RM5 per bowl, but I'd still say it's worth it.

the shrimps were huge but tasted a little odd.

then that night we went for a friend's mini BBQ gathering at the apartment balcony like literally using a 2-hour-instant-charcoal-BBQ-kit from tesco haha.. I was listening to their mingling and chatter of their post-graduating experiences, their new jobs and future plans. I realized that all of them had already detached from their student lives and started having more profound insights towards life, something that I'm still trying to grasp at the moment.

On sunday, after having brunch at TTDI, we went to the PC fair at KLCC and boy was it an experience. Aside from the obvious eye candies, the size of the fair puts to shame all other PC fairs at all states, an eye opener indeed. One thing I hate about the fair was parking! Parking was ridiculous in the center of KL city! drivers were extra brutally selfish and parking spaces was damn expensive! shit, a fucking cut-throat RM10 for one single parking! ugh...

Well.. at least the fair compensated for most of it ;)

"need a consultation?"

I couldn't actually see anything from the fair because it was SoOoOOoo crowded! and all I could see was people and all the gadgets seemed insignificant regardless of the whole event. Unless you're prepared and have an item in mind to buy, I'd say it's pointless to get in and becoming a living human pancake with the crowds.

then had lunch at KLCC, and even KLCC was in the festive mood and the decorations were awesome.

One thing I liked bout KLCC was the green landscape designed in the space adjacent outside the shopping centre. As if among all the confines of the high-rise buildings and the complications of the city life, at its center, a semblance of mushrooming civilization of greenery and nature still remains.

Everything was just what I needed at that time, an escape from all the thoughts and questions that has been meddling around inside my mind for so long. At KL, I was free, free from all expectations and all the disappointments. I left KL with a heavy heart, getting heavier at each decreasing kilometers approaching melaka, but I guess it can't be helped..

Like how my friend would always put for me... C'est la vie ;)
